Pneu. rope balancer

• Hand-guided twin-rope balancer / manipulator 
• Unit weight: 
• – Cordis 12: 21.1 kg
  
• – Cordis 6: 9.7 kg
  
• Purely pneumatic 
• Operating pressure: min. 6 bar 
• Two compressed-air circuits: one control circuit, one working circuit 
• Pressure relief valve adjustable to a user-defined pressure

• Enables “weightless” moving and lifting
• Repositioning of individual and bulk parts of widely differing loads
• Optimal material handling at the workstation
• A pneumatic cylinder is charged with compressed air and transfers the force to the two ropes via the pulley.

Various operating modes available

Constant balancing control, manual:

• If the same load is always moved, the corresponding weight can be set with a valve
• At the press of a button, weight compensation is engaged after gripping

Variable balancing control, manual:

• If individual parts of differing weights are picked up, weight compensation can also be set manually each time the load is picked up.

Safety features

• Anti-jump: if the load breaks away, the unit stays in position
• Anti-drop: in the event of a sudden pressure loss, the unit stays in position
• Overload protection: the safety valve prevents excessive loads from being lifted

Customer-specific requirements such as a higher load capacity, a larger radius or a longer stroke can be implemented after a separate review of the parameters.

Various carrying devices and gripping solutions (can be developed or customised on request).

This means the right solution can be engineered for every application.

• Particularly easy to handle and lightweight for an ergonomic workstation
• Rotate, position and move precisely across a large working area
• Can be integrated into any rail system, allowing a very large working area
• Can also be mounted on a jib crane
• Two independent steel cables to attach the gripping solution
• Compared with single-rope units, the twin-rope technology makes it particularly stable, torsion-resistant and durable
• Various trolleys are available for every common rail system
• Pressure relief valve adjustable to a user-defined pressure
• Lightweight materials (aluminium, plastic)
• No exposed or visible hoses or other separate components

The CORDIS rope balancer is used wherever:

• greater distances have to be covered.
• a rail system is available or recommended.
• no torque may occur at the load attachment point.
• space is limited.

Vacuum grippers & Co.

The CORDIS rope balancer can be combined with a wide range of gripping solutions such as vacuum grippers, mechanical grippers and many more, to meet every requirement.
